The coordinate of the point P will be (6/5, -7/5). Then the correct option is C.

The complete question is attached below.

<h3>What is the section of the line?</h3>

Let A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) be a line segment. Then the point P (x, y) divide the line segment in the ratio of m:n. Then we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁) / (m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁) / (m + n)

Given the points X(-2, 5) and Y(2, -3).

Then the coordinates of the point P on directed line segment XY that partitions segment XY such that the ratio of XP to PY is 4:1.

(x₁, y₁) = (-2, 5)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, -3)

m = 4

n = 1

Then the point will be

x = [4 × 2 + 1 × (-2)] / (4 + 1)

x = 6 / 5

y = [4 × (-3) + 1 × 5] / (4 + 1)

y = -7 / 5

The coordinate of the point P will be (6/5, -7/5).

Then the correct option is C.

More about the section of the line link is given below.

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Let's say we wanted to subtract these measurements.

We can do the calculation exactly:

45.367 - 43.43 = 1.937

But let's take the idea that measurements were rounded to that last decimal place.  

So 45.367 might be as small as 45.3665 or as large as 45.3675.

Similarly 43.43 might be as small as 43.425 or as large as 43.435.

So our difference may be as large as

45.3675 - 43.425 = 1.9425

or as small as

45.3665 - 43.435 = 1.9315


If we express our answer as  1.937 that means we're saying the true measurement is between 1.9365 and 1.9375.  Since we determined our true measurement was between 1.9313 and 1.9425, the measurement with more digits overestimates the accuracy.

The usual rule is to when we add or subtract to express the result to the accuracy our least accurate measurement, here two decimal places.

We get 1.94 so an imputed range between 1.935 and 1.945.  Our actual range doesn't exactly line up with this, so we're only approximating the error, but the approximate inaccuracy is maintained.

Look at the picture to see the question.
Andru [333]

Answer:

y = 5/7x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you replace the x and y in the equation with points x and y of point (35, 30) and change the 10 to b you can solve for b which is the what changes from the original equation to this one.

30 = 5/7(35) + b

30 = 25 + b

5 = b

Since the equations are parallel they have the same slope.

This is the equation for a parallel line that passes through point (35, 30):

y = 5/7x + 5

Hope this made sense! Please give Brainliest!
